Use this after an EctJ decision letter. Reopen the decision letter, RES review-process page,
and current author instructions before setting deadlines.
## Response strategy
- Separate econometric-validity issues from exposition, simulation, application, and
replication issues.
- Answer assumption and proof objections with exact theorem, lemma, or appendix changes.
- If a referee asks for broader treatment, decide whether it belongs in the printed paper,
online supplement, or a clearly scoped limitation.
- Add Monte Carlo or empirical checks only when they resolve a decision-critical concern.
- Preserve compactness; an R&R that bloats beyond the EctJ page discipline can create a new
